INTENSE Project

Neurotechnology can ameliorate or even eliminate some of the impairments that come with neurological disorders, by helping the patients to regain lost functions and participate in society, while reducing the cost of healthcare. INTENSE will generate disruptive neurotechnology, allowing us to read from and write to the human brain at an unprecedented level. We aim to create new high-bandwidth, wireless interfaces to the human nervous system to partially restore functionality. Furthermore, we brought together the expertise to make these new technologies ready to be tested in patients and for commercial application. The project connects a visionary team of world-renowned experts in neuroscience, technology, medicine, psychology and ethics to major neurotechnology companies and patient organizations. INTENSE is one of the projects that has been awarded a grant of € 14.3 million from the NWO Crossover program, and is made up of members of the NeuroTech-NL organization.
